Cliff notes: With his Plan B proposal to avoid the "fiscal cliff" rejected by fellow House Republicans, Speaker John Boehner, R-Plan C, Anyone?, said it was the Senate's turn to act. The House will not meet again until after Christmas.

Hoity and toity: Classical crossover soprano and Broadway star Sarah Brightman has rescheduled a March 22 performance in Everett at the Comcast Arena, moving it to October at the Paramount Theater in Seattle to allow fans time to listen to her new album, "Dreamchaser," prior to the performance.

We're going to try hard not to take this as criticism of Everett's cultural scene and hope that Comcast Arena can book a show of equal class and sophistication to replace Brightman, like a tractor pull or a mixed martial arts cage match.
